Sebastian Herkner
Sebastian Herkner was born in 1981 in Bad Mergentheim, Germany, and studied product design at HfG Offenbach University of Art and Design. During his studies, he worked at Stella McCartney’s London studio, refining his instinct for colour, texture, and materials.
After graduation, he founded Studio Sebastian Herkner near Frankfurt, creating furniture, lighting, and product designs that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Known for his curiosity about cultures and design traditions, Herkner integrates heritage techniques with contemporary forms, producing work that is functional, tactile, and timeless.
His collaborations with leading manufacturers demonstrate a consistent approach: balancing aesthetics, innovation, and narrative to create designs that feel both modern and enduring.
